Bill Charlap - I'm Old Fashioned

A recent beauty of a release by Venus this. The maestro on piano, Peter Bernstein on guitar and Peter Washington on bass. Absolutely stunning sound - listen to it on a good stereo and Charlap could be playing the piano in your living room.
As it's name suggests, its just a good honest 60-odd minutes of a swinging trio playing standards. Charlap just seems to get better, his playing on the title track is sublime. As a piano player myself, I don't think anyone voices block-chords in quite the way that he does. Enjoy.
